Quotable: “(My family) all graduated from South Carolina, but they wanted me to go
where I was most comfortable and where I felt I had the best opportunity to play.
They were very supportive of my decision and the de-commitment (from South
Carolina). I’m thankful for all of them, because they’ve put up with it well.” – Matt
